SCOOP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. DROZ, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Bellevue, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inScoops, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to scoops and blanks for making the same and oneof the objects thereof is to provide a scoop in a manner as hereinafterset forth whereby one is able to scoop up the material at one end of thescoop and discharge the same through the other end of the scoop.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists ofthe novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts ashereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown the preferred embodiment of theinvent-ion, but it is to be understood that changes, variations andmodifications can be resorted to, which come within the scope of theclaims hereunto appended.

Referring to the drawings in detail, Figure 1 is a face view of a blankfrom which a scoop in accordance with this invention is set up, Fig. 2is a perspective view of the scoop, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectionalview of the scoop, Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the scoop showing thesame provided with handles, and Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view ofa form shown in Fig. 4.

Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings and which shows the blank from whichthe.

scoop is made, said blank is formed from a thin piece of metallicmaterial and comprises a body portion 1 and an extension 2. Theextension 2 terminates in the body portion 1 and at the point ofjuncture between said extension and body portion a score 8 is providedand said extension has each end pointed as at 4, that is to say,substantially in the form of a V. The inner terminus of the inner sideof each pointed end 4: extends inwardly beyond the plane in whichextends the inner terminus of the outer side of said end and the saidinner side of said end is of greater length than the outer sideSpecification of Letters Patent.

thereof. The body portion 1 is scored at an inclination as at 5, saidscore extending from the score 3 to the edge 6 of the body portion. Theside edges of the body portion from the edge 6 extends upwardly andoutwardly, then upwardly and inwardly as at 9 and then inwardly anddownwardly as at 10 whereby a V shaped space 11 will be formed betweeneach edge 10 and each end of the extension 2 of the blank. The blank isfolded upon itself to provide a scoop as clearly shown in Fig. 3 and thesaid scoop consists of a body portion 12, a funnelshaped end 13 and anupwardly inclined scooping end 1 1 having side walls 15 maintained inthe body portion 12.

From the foregoing construction of the scoop it is evident that thematerial which is taken up at the inclined end can be dis charged fromthe funnel end thereof and if desired the body portion of the scoop maybe provided with handles 17 so that the scoop can be conveniently usedor so that the scoop can be made of a large size for handling grain.

hat I claim is 1. A scoop comprising a body portion, a funnel-shaped endprojecting from said body portion and open at its free terminus, saidfunnel-shaped end gradually decreasing in diameter toward its freeterminus, an upwardly-extending inclined scooping end extending from theother end of said body portion and provided with a pair of side wallsgradually decreasing in height inwardly and disconnected from the bodyportion and extending in parallelism with respect to and exteriorly ofsaid side walls for maintaining them in position, said extensionsgradually decreasing in height outwardly.

2. A scoop comprising a body portion, a funnelshaped end projecting fromsaid body portion and open at its free terminus, said funnel-shaped endgradually decreasing in diameter toward its free terminus, anupwardly-extending inclined scooping end extending from the other end ofsaid body portion and provided with a pair of side walls graduallydecreasing in height inwardly and disconnected from the body portion andextending in parallelism with re- Patented Mar. 15, 1910.

spect to and exteriorly of said side Walls 1 for maintaining them inposition, said extensions gradually decreasing in height outwardly, anda pair of laterally-extending 5 handles connected to the sides of thebody portion and projecting over and connected to the sides of saidfunnel-shaped end.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature 1n the presence of twoWitnesses.
